Sarah, this is excellent information that I will take to heart because I plan on conducting a public archaeology project for my dissertation. I would add that anyone interested in community archaeology should hook up with someone that has already done community organizing or community non-profit work. It doesn’t have to be an archaeologist. For instance, the director of a food bank can show you networking tricks that archaeologists wouldn’t typically think of. Also, check out some of the literature on frendraising that has been published recently. Hildy Gottleib’s books have helped me organize my strategy.

Thanks for this post. Keep in touch.
